git-annex 0.04 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Add unlock subcommand, which replaces the symlink with a copy of
the file's content in preparation of changing it. The "edit" subcommand
is an alias for unlock.
* Add lock subcommand.
* Unlocked files will now automatically be added back into the annex when
committed (and the updated symlink committed), by some magic in the
pre-commit hook.
* The SHA1 backend is now fully usable.
* Add annex.version, which will be used to automate upgrades
between incompatible versions.
* Reorganised the layout of .git/annex/
* The new layout will be automatically upgraded to the first time
git-annex is used in a repository with the old layout.
* Note that git-annex 0.04 cannot transfer content from old repositories
that have not yet been upgraded.
* Annexed file contents are now made unwritable and put in unwriteable
directories, to avoid them accidentially being removed or modified.
(Thanks Josh Triplett for the idea.)
* Add build dep on libghc6-testpack-dev. Closes: #[603016](http://bugs.debian.org/603016)
* Avoid using runghc to run test suite as it is not available on all
architectures. Closes: #[603006](http://bugs.debian.org/603006)"""]]
